During the festival, the delegates offered flowers and incense in tribute to President Ho Chi Minh and fallen soldiers. They also visited historical sites and Can Gio mangrove forest, explored traditional crafts, took part in Vietnamese folk games, and experienced cultural and tourism activities in Ho Chi Minh City.

Cultural and artistic exchanges and other activities provided opportunities for the children from the three countries to meet, interact, and learn about each country’s history, culture and traditions, thereby helping foster closer bonds and solidarity among the younger generations of the three countries.

Below are photos of activities in the program.
